Here is our Christmas Eve party this year. Were actually missing alot of family, but we still had enough for a party. We all decorated Gingerbread houses in Grandpa Ferrins tradition. Uncle Dewayne read the Christmas story out of the Bible and we sang Christmas Carroll's while Tallen played the guitar. For the first year ever we gave up the cooking and cooked frozen lasagna. I think that was a great idea.

It snowed a little on Christmas day making the drive to Poky a little long but we drove Craigs 4 wheel drive and kept Lad and Krystal on the phone as we crossed the top of the Malad Pass. Lad lives on top of the pass and has two snowmobiles and a tractor so we knew he could rescue us. We were pushing snow with the front bumper in the middle of the freeway growing about 20mph with the 4 wheel drive on. The freeways were closed for awhile but we were already on it and they didn't makes us get off. I took a couple of hours but we made it to Pocatello for the annual gift exchange and dinner.

We saw a county snow plow stuck between the North and South bound lane at the crest of the summit on Christmas afternoon. The truck was buried above the windows. This isn't it I found this pic on the Internet and it doesn't do the story justice but it shows the size of the truck.
